Nitish Rana relishes pressure

“I had said that the last time as well — when there is pressure, I seem to do better. I was happy that there was pressure, I enjoy playing under pressure,” Rana told reporters after the lopsided Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Eden Gardens on Monday.

Andre Russell blasted a 12-ball 41 along with Rana’s 35-ball 59 to help KKR pile up a mammoth 200/9. In reply, Delhi was out for 129 as Sunil Narine (3/18) and Kuldeep Yadav (3/32) triggered a collapse. 

“It was an important game for us since we had lost the last two in a row,” said Rana who has scored 127 runs so far in four matches at an average of 31.75. 

KKR got back to winning ways after slumping to defeats against Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad respectively. Rana had a good run against RCB in  the first match.
